Online propaganda: "A look at 2010 data reveals that the U.S. is one of the least taxed countries in the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), according to a study released Monday by Citizens For Tax Justice." -- The libs are hard at work... don't ever forget this. 10 slides are floating around proclaiming Americans aren't taxed as high as nearly all other countries as though that is bad. Not one slide compares the revenue and prosperity that lower taxes give to America than any other country. It also shoots holes in liberal contentions of why American companies keep cash in overseas accounts.

Judas 00-bama has nominated two "Republican lawyers" for two of the 5 spots on the National Labor Relations Board. It only takes a majority of 3 to pass resolutions/responses so having 2 "Republican lawyers" will not change the pro-union bias, but something else bothers me... if the 2 "Republican lawyers" are truly Republican, why would they agree to being pawns for the Judas 00-bama agenda? Smoke and Mirrors to get the Senate Republicans to look like obstacles.

Now a mass stabbing has occurred on a Texas college campus. 14 students in several buildings were stabbed by a lone knifer. Early unconfirmed reports hinted the knife was a semi-automatic dual tipped model.

WTVM9 story: "COLUMBUS, GA (WTVM) - As President Obama pushes for more gun control to protect students in the wake of recent shootings, the Muscogee County School Board took steps to make Columbus schools safer. The new security plan "LATER": Lockdown…Alert...Take action...Evacuate if possible...Resist as a last resort, was presented to the school board during Monday night's meeting." -- "LATER"? What an asinine acronym... the only thing "LATER" means is that it's later than the MCSD thinks since by removing paddles from schools has eliminated the only crowd control weapon teachers had.

From the unintended consequences' department. Hmmm, maybe all those bonds China holds of our government debt may mean China may stop North Korea from attacking its largest investment.

---

DUMBERats are ever waving their fingers at conservatives and morals and shouting out "extremist" at them. Well, if you're as far to the left as DUMBERats appear, everything to their right (including the middle ground) does look rather extreme.

---

Why is it that mainstream media reporters are in such a rush to report whatever Judas 00-bama says, but never are in any hurry to check his facts for the truth? There was a time when truth mattered more than urgency... I miss that.

---

Why is " the sequester" so difficult for government to grasp? Recent GAO reports show that duplicate government programs already spend 3 times more than the pittance that 'the sequester' is making the government reduce in spending.

---

In an interview on CBS, Michelle Obama referred to herself as"a busy single mom". I guess wives of this generation of DUMBERat presidents wives are open to non-traditional forms of marriages (Hillary, too)... While it could be described as a Freudian Slip, it's really a case of " fraud-ian slip".

Online story: Soldiers in the U.S. military have been told in a training briefing that evangelical Christians are the No. 1 extremist threat to America – ahead of groups like the Muslim Brotherhood, KKK, Nation of Islam, al-Qaida, Hamas and others. * The briefing, which was given to an Army reserve unit in Pennsylvania, came from a U.S. Army Reserve Equal Opportunity training brief titled “Extremism and Extremist Organizations.” The following slide/chart was a visual aid:

Surely this did not appear without the sanction of the Commander-in-Chief. To 'dot the "i", Louis Farrakhan nor ACORN made the list.

Did I miss it? The apology of Sean Penn's son's racial and homophobic slur barrage to a paparazzi.

---

If Senator Kelly Ayotte, R-NH, wants to become a credible voice for government accountability, she needs to snip the cords she holds with Send. Graham & McCain. Those two have so many political skeletons and positions in their closets to be given any further credibility.

I hate it when the L-E clumps McKoon with Myers on the issue of the MCSD Board issue of the no-bid legal contract. To begin with Hatcher-Stubbs-Ea al rates charged for services would be of no interest to other large firms, and the citizens are getting a great service for their tax dollar. On the other hand, one of the lawyers would like the MCSD board to have an in-house (salaried plus expenses etc) attorney (hopefully himself) who would control legal issues. The only real problem with the current set-up is that the MCSD barrages Hatcher-Stubbs-Et al with too many trivial situations that could be solved with consistent rulings.

L-E story: "A man allegedly damaged two police cars Monday morning after he was arrested with a small amount of marijuana, according to a Columbus police report. * Pollard was placed inside a patrol car and buckled in. Shortly after, he managed to free himself of the car restraints and began kicking the rear passenger door hard enough to separate the paneling from the frame, police said. * Officers placed Pollard in leg irons and put him in another patrol car. He allegedly said, “You want to see me break something?” He then began thrusting up against his seat belt and restraints, causing the seat to come loose from the frame. He also stripped out the restraining bolt of the lap bar, police said." -- Hmmm, perhaps the police rear seat restraints should be equipped with "taser' barbs that activate when a prisoner exerts any excessive pressure on them.

---

L-E story: "WASHINGTON — Even before it is unveiled, President Barack Obama’s new budget is opening to poor reviews from liberal allies entrenched in their opposition to shaving benefit programs and GOP opponents equally opposed to new tax increases." -- Of course the left is upset with a budget proposal! After all, it's been years since the DUMBERats have passed (or voted) on one, and a new budget will eliminated the "continuous resolutions" that have kept entitlement programs funded and increasing without review.

---

L-E story: "MINNEAPOLIS — A worker at the Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport has been charged with stealing shotguns, revolvers and other weapons from the checked luggage of passengers who had connections through the busy Twin Cities airport. " -- well, expect Sen Diane Feinstein to propose a new law making theft of guns illegal! Oh.... there are already hundreds of laws that do that... nevermind.

---

L-E editorial headline: "Georgia trying to grade schools on fairer scale" -- huh? Aren't state or federal standards the main reason that local standards have declined since 1979? (That was the year Cuzzin Jimmy installed a Department of Education) The current Secretary of Educations prior job was CEO of the Chicago School System, and we know how well that worked. What's really needed is a trip back to Grand Jury appointed school boards who's sole job is to monitor & support the needs and progress of Muscogee County schools.

L-E story: "During routine purchase authorizations Tuesday at Columbus Council, City Manager Isaiah Hugley presented a request to buy $45,892 worth of furniture, fixtures and equipment for the new Sustainability Center near the Pine Grove Landfill off Schatulga Road. * Councilor Judy Thomas had a different idea. Pointing to the almost $900,000 that council recently approved for furnishing the new City Service Center, Thomas said that should create a surplus of furniture as employees move from the Government Center to furnished offices in the Macon Road building" -- Hmmm, wish Judy had suggested using some of the existing furniture at the new service center to begin with, but at least she's stepping up to the plate now. One other suggestion though i sthat if the Landfill office can't find enough to salvage from the City, then how about someone rummaging through furniture left on the street... it's free, and will save that much more space in the landfill. ;-)

---

We're gonna hear a lot more about "growlers". Most of it will be 'growling' about how many 'growler containers" will be fished out of the Whitewater project (a capped empty growler jug would probably have perpetual motion in "CutBait" ), then the landfill will complain about them being sent there to be disposed of.

---

Speaking of "growlers", why is the last thing any bar owners would want to wish on the community is send a person who has already been drinking home with a gallon of beer to tide him over?

---

Our newly proposed Director of Human Resources is our current "affirmative action" officer? We still have an "affirmative action" program? well, I hope her first action as Director is to bring Human Resources into the 21st Century by eliminating her previous job position.

---

L-E headline: "Attorney wants separate trials for teens charged with shooting baby in stroller " -- First, it's about time the L-E showed any real interest in this horrific racial hate crime, and under the circumstances we have been informed about, separate trials are probably a good thing, but only with the fully testimony of the younger against the older. The older, gun firing teen should be publicly executed within an hour after the trial tomorrow!

The rest of the sports world may as well take a vacation for the rest of the week... I'm in "Masters" mode.

Online story: "A former Hooters employee who was forced to quit after shaving her head for brain surgery is now suing the franchise in federal court for violating the Missouri Human Rights Act, according to court documents provided to The Huffington Post by the woman's lawyer. * Sandra Lupo waitressed at a Hooters in St. Peters, Mo., when she shaved her head in July 2012 so that a doctor could perform a craniotomy to remove a large mass on her brain, the lawsuit alleges." -- Bless her heart, but this girl is missing a huge opportunity... her lawyer should be trying to get her a made-for-TV movie as the only Hooter's waitress who has had a 'large mass' removed rather than added.
